13. Anything we could do to highlight the endless hypocrisy of these pukes is
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 10:12 PM by FizzFuzz
a good idea, I think. Also, highlighting real compassion, the cornerstone of MOST faiths, and showing that fundamentalism is a twisted perversion of religion--yes, some cause to promote that truth would be damn good. Again, we need most of all, a media network that puts these common sense awarenesses out in the public. Oh, and I would add, we should emphasize the truth that "values", to use an overused and abused word, are cherished by ALL peoples, not one particular religion.

I mean for crying out loud, it's not like we have brewed up some weird new idea!! Mercy, honesty, education, clear thinking, self-growth (ahg! there's a better word for that but I can't think of it!! Sorry, I'm a vocabulary fuss-budget)--anyway, those qualities have been taught by every philosophy through the ages. It's the RW-fundamentalist cesspool that's hijacked and twisted the meaning of morality.

As long as it isn't some kind of relinquishing our values of supporting life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness for ALL, of helping those in need, and refusing to discriminate against any "minority" group, then yeah! Definitely, I don't agree with diminishing good for the purpose of seeming more palatable to republicans, since I have absolutely no respect for their value system which is survival of the strongest/richest and screw everyone else.

ON Edit: Oops, I sort of went on a ramble, but as another poster said, Yeah, support the Veterans since it shows up the RW hypocrisy so well, and they sure do need the support, since SmirkCo isn't providing it. For that matter, it wouldn't hurt to make a big deal of supporting the troops--you know, armor, training, equipment, all the stuff they're being forced to have their family buy or go dumpster diving for. But it all needs to be PUBLICIZED to high holy heaven, and THAT's the tough part. The RW shills can easily twist and ignore anything they don't like. Again, that's why we need to push for more or larger Progressive media outlets.
